Potential Side Effects Reported side effects may include: Injection site pain, redness, or irritation Mild diarrhea Itching or rash Headache Dizziness Nausea Hypokalemia (low potassium)
Other benefits of MOTS-c MOTS-cs diverse therapeutic effects may help users realize numerous downstream health effects: Diabetes: Inefficient glucose uptake is a characteristic of type 2 diabetes, and mitochondrial dysfunction may result in two risk factors for the disease insulin resistance and impaired insulin secretion.32 33 MOTS-cs actions on these risk factors may help nip them in the bud.34 Cardiovascular health: Diabetes is a cardiovascular risk factor, so cutting it from the picture can spell significant improvements in heart health.35 A high body-fat percentage is another such risk factor, so if MOTS-c can prevent obesity, it can halt the onset of a health condition characteristic of more than 80% of people with coronary heart disease.36 37 Longevity: Given the link between inflammation, age, and high-risk age-related diseases (e.g., atherosclerosis, cardiovascular disease), MOTS-c may increase lifespan as a continual downstream effect.38 Cognitive function: A 2022 review published in Progress in Neurobiology noted that metabolic modulators (which MOTS-c is) and exercise (which MOTS-c simulates) can be used in neuroprotective strategies.39 Or at least that has been the case in preclinical studies
